I'm new to the gothic scene: Fashion suggestions?
I'm completely new to all of this, and I'm going to list what I personally have thought about wearing, and if anything is out of place or wrong, simply let me know.
Well, I'm a guy, and am wanting a more edgy goth look.
What I have thought about doing:
Wearing black boots or skate shoes
Wearing slightly baggy black pants
Wearing dark blue t-shirt, or a hottopic shirt.
Wearing a black leather jacket overtop of the shirt.
Dying my hair very dark blue.
Wearing some face makeup, but not too overboard.
You are all welcome to suggest different ideas of course.

Yeah, I'm being very specific on what I want to wear because I want to make sure everything is right. I have been told that all goths dress differently, so it shouldnt matter, but I want you guys' opinions, after all you know what's fashionable in the culture, I don't . . yet.

Rarely ever...do young guys....become goths (It's mostly girls in Australia that choose to follow this subculture), I congratulate you. But right now, what's fashionable in the subculture is....The Drag Queen/Androgenous *I think that's how you spell it* Look....Hot Topic will make you a consumer whore

Well, I know that alot of young guys become goiths where I live, but they don't truly want to become gothic, they only do it because they want attention. So I guess it's kinda rare these days that someone my age joins up because they honestly want to lead this type of lifestyle, like I do.

just do what feels natural sexy baby.
try every thing once and then you find what suits you and what makes you happy.
the trick is not to listen or care about what others say or think (especially other guys your age, they are usually wayy too young and immature) 'cos lots of people will try to intimidate of push you down.
Dont Listen!!!! cant stress that enough!!!!
be happy be sexy. goth boys are yummy!

Because I know what being a true part of the Goth subculture is all about, and I simply want to dedicate my lifestyle to that end.
I want to look good to other Goths, but not to the mainstream public. I could care less what they think of me. Sure, people are gonna look, but that's not why I want to become gothic. Hell, if I wanted attention, I'd become something else other than Goth.

I feel that the clothing style you choose should somehow represent what your attitude is, not what everyone else is wearing. Or maybe that's what you were saying, idk.

Do what feels right. Also, you don't have to look girly to look gothy... it's just a plus ^.^ Hot topic is genrally frowned on in excess (I say in excess becasue there are SO many threads hijacked by wheather or not hot topic sucks). Notice he's also said he's "new to the scene". That's actually impressive to me. Instead of saying Ho du i b GOTHIXXX!11! you seem to realize that you're not changing yourself, just changing your outward appearance to match your personal aesthetic. Good luck!

This is just me but if I was you, I would :
Stop labeling myself anything!
Go out and shop for myself, not question the board. Your a semi big boy, We trust you to make your own choices.
introduce myself.
use spell check.
but hey, thats just me. It also sounds like your going for a more "I love BAM" kinda look, and thats cool. to each his/her/it's own.

That is what they WANT you to think..
They steal your underwear and then make you believe that it was all your idea in the first place..
Then when you're completely relaxed and swinging free;
BAM!!
YOUR BALLS EXSPLODE!!
I've seen it before, it wasn't pretty...
Look what they did to poor Stuart..
*Shudder*

Trash all of the stuff that you wear just to fit in to what is concidered goth in your area. After doing that, go to a store that is not in the popular culture this will ensure that no one has what you have or you can do try this faq - http://anon.razorwire.com/real-goth-faq/ - to be a pop culture/poser goth, anyways just do stuff you do not see. The real purpose of dressing this way is to be different from the rest in your own way while enjoying it.

You should take the time and learn more about the "goth" culture.
There are plenty of sites with great information...
